Patient's question:
Had a recurrence of convulsions in the morning. After being taken to the hospital for six hours, it happened again, this time very severe. In the meantime, the nurse took the temperature every half hour, and the temperature remained at 38 degrees. The baby's body kept getting colder until the recurrence. When the doctor arrived, the temperature was measured at 40°. It should be that the nurse didn't measure it properly all along. I wonder if delaying it for so long will affect the baby's future episodes.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if high fever seizures persist for a long time, they can cause brain hypoxia. In such cases, it is recommended to closely monitor the child's neurological development. If the seizures last for an extended period, special attention should be given. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if a seizure occurs in the morning and another one happens six hours later after going to the hospital?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
